Its easy to be cynical, especially when it comes to this smug, podgy-faced ****, who seems to have transformed into an apparent social revolutionary. But... can anyone remember an opposition leader not making this exact speech, almost word for word, just before an election.

What Blair said was different. Something about a 'Stakeholder Society' and also some stuff about reforming the House of lords. Don't know whatever came of it. He did do the devolution stuff and London Assembly/London Mayor, although it didn't quite go according to his plan.

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yes Kimbers. But look at their faces. Don't they simply radiate a certain humility. A humble public service ethic that leads them towards government not in pursuit of wealth and power, but to genuinely do some good for society as a whole, particularly the weak an vulnerable

Actually kimbers, for me that's one of Cameron's most (possibly) redeeming qualities - his 'upperclassness'.

Maybe it's just desperate wishful thinking on my part, but I'm hoping that Cameron will possibly show the more patriarchal benevolence which was once prevalent amongst the British upper-classes towards the lower-classes. A bit more of a 'Harold Macmillan' if you will. But I could be wrong - there's no real way of knowing until he becomes PM.

Certainly the most callous, reactionary, and right-wing tories imo, come from more humble backgrounds - the Thatchers and Tebbits of this world. And the One Nation Tories invariably originate from more aristocratic backgrounds.

the worrying thing is that cameron (and clegg) seem to have styled their appearance, manerisms, oily demeanor and fake smile on tony blair anyway
it amazes me that cameronophiles cant see where he got it all from
